1. Can you advise the postcodes for the delivery points?

A: The three main post codes for our delivery points are as follows

Kings Road : PL1 5QG

Goschen Centre: PL2 2DP

Picquet Barracks: PL1 4HX

2. Please provide the number of deliveries last year/ delivery frequency?

A: In the interests of Sustainability the College aims to group orders together twice per week. However, in cases where supplies are required urgently this frequency can increase.

3. Please provide the average order value?

A: Order values vary drastically so it is not possible to provide an average order value. As above, where possible the College aims to group orders together to lessen the impact of delivery of small orders.
